screw size

[housebg]

does anyone have a list of screw sizes so I can order screws by the box and get a break on them I have about three hundred reels and most need some if not all screws Thanks Billy

Hey Billy, you may have to be a bit more specific as to what style reels and which screws you are looking for.

2,3,4,6/0 senators, jigmasters, monofils, etc,etc.?

If they're these style reels 5-40 SS in 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 will cover most of the frame screws. Kind of give us an idea of what you have in that beautiful pile of 300 and we can be more helpful!

On a further note: does anybody have a source for SS Penn 5-40 flathead screws ?

mysticparts.com or penn themselves.  

mcmaster.com has them also.  

these are 5-40 socket heads - https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-socket-head-screws/=199qk5u

unfortunately, mcmaster does not have an oval head in 5-40.  fastenal does have an assortment.

Yes George, McMaster does carry 5-40 flat head screws:

The problem with these, they'll stick out a little, making them klook bad.
If you have the patience, you could chuck them up in a drill press and use a file to soften the edge of the head a little, as I did here:



Best,

The 82 degree angle of the screw head while it is standard is not a direct replacement for the Penn screws. Would be troublesome attaching the end ring of 500/501 etc. to the cross bars.

You are correct Geaorge. I have used these attaching the rings on the Surfmaster100 with no issues

I talked about them here, but the pics are gone. I should try to put the pics back on this one.
